Description Nico Gulden univentionstaff 2013-01-31 15:40:50 CET
Some Apps in the App Center have a rather long name. Guiding the mouse over such an app creates a mouse over effect resulting in a grey background box. The text is not surounded by the box, but reaching out over it. Please see the screenshot attached.

The easiest fix would be to adapt the application's name. At the moment, I do not see another sensible option.
Comment 3 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2013-02-04 09:22:22 CET
Maybe we could remove the names of the categories from the app list?

Hide infos outside box when hovered

.umcGalleryItem:hover {
  overflow: hidden;
}

This will cut the names when hovered. The category names are shown as long as the mouse does not hover the application (it is only annoying when hovering, right?). If hovered these category names are hidden when outside the grey box. I think the solution would work. It only affects very few apps (just one at the moment) and only affects a few letters in them.

It would be interesting, what it will look like. Changes on single letters upon mouse over might look like there is something broken to the user. Maybe it is indeed better just to remove the category names. 

Are the categories displayed somewhere else, except the category pane on the left side?

Yes, if you click on the App itself. Not very prominent though.

On Firefox: Rightclick on an App in the overview, select "Examine element (Q)". On the new bar on top of the Application click on the right arrow and select "hover". On the new bar on the bottom select "Style" (rightmost button).

Somewhere in the middle of the new bar on the right, there is an entry: ".umcGalleryPane .umcGalleryItem:hover {"
C
lick in the field an add: "overflow \tab hidden"

Can still happen with new Gallery but it less probable.

Yes, agreed. I think we can then close this bug.
